The Environment Hero

I am the Environment Hero. Recycling is my middle name. I know all there is to know with the environment, and all there is to know to save the world. With the help of my many sidekicks, all can be made well on this planet. Many of my sidekicks are listed here:

With the inspiration of Giora Kariv, an inventor and constructor, a bike can now be made entirely out of cardboard. This bike only costs $9 to $12 to build, and depletes the need for heavy metals. Bryce Edmonds has created a company called "ReCycle." This bike business manufactures bikes made from 100% recycled aluminum and can be purchased in one of three models. The factory takes 95% less energy and makes 95% less CO2 emissions than other bike factories. Spanish design studio “Lola Madrid” has followed a similar bike path. This creative crew has picked and sorted through car scraps to make reliable bikes. Recycled car parts are the main ingredients that put the bikes together for the brand "Bicycled," and these bicycles are really slick. "Frii" is another great bike company. These friends of mine make bikes made completely from recycled plastic. Mind you, it may look a bit... noticeable, but it saves much of the environment! It is good to keep in mind that a bike, in the idea of itself, is eco-friendly. And these bikes mentioned above are not just a nice way to skip a car ride, but they are physically environmentally smart in the way they are built, the scraps that make it so, and the mass distribution of them all.

In the spirit of the fight for the environment, Al Gore is a prime example of an activist for green. He doesn’t construct bikes made from tin foil, but he explains the negatives of fossil fuel emissions and the green house effect that the emissions cause. He has many charts, graphs, and pictures that question some of the validity of his speeches. But nevertheless, the eco-word must be brought to attention. Exaggerations or facts, we need to understand as an intelligent people that something is at hand in the world today, and riding a cardboard bike might make the world feel a little better.

Once again, I am the Environment Hero. If in need of environmental help of any sort, just put up the leaf light. I will be there as fast as my recycled bike can take me.
